Daksha: Brahma’s eldest son, born from his mental powers like Saraswati was. He was made from Brahma’s toe. Daksha and his brothers treated Saraswati as a sister.Sati: Daksha’s eldest daughter. An incarnation of the Maha Devi; Shiva’s first consort. She immolated herself using her immense yogic abilities to shame her father for slighting Shiva (and by extension, her). She was reborn as Parvati.
